So apparently Canadians can buy the no-shit German military G28. I mean, the real deal with the German markings and everything. $12k US including SB scope and T1 dot in the mount, all RAL8000. It's slick as FUCK man. I'd sell my SR25 in a heartbeat for this and I didn't do that to get the Mk20.
I guess it's import laws and lack of an HK factory that prevents us from getting this.
But what really blows me away is that this is gonna be the new SDMR for the US Army --holy shit what I'd have given to get issued this bad motherfucker. I was an OG SDM and SDM instructor and we had slightly better than a stick --an M4 with an ACOG. Damn. Wish I was young again so I could sign back up and play with all this cool shit.
Think about this. They're gonna spend your tax dollars and give this to Joe. Sad thing is that SDM's don't have the training required to take advantage of a system this nice but it's typical Army thinking, "you can buy accuracy". If it took us a month to take good shots and make 'em SDM's with an M4 and an ACOG, how the fuck does AMU teach 'em in two weeks, half the course mind you and missing the whole NM and iron sight component, on this?
Sad thing is they'll never get used at the range except to qual now and again, but they'll be shot out the first year or two at the annual spendex. Disgusting. Army trying to buy accuracy. We taught SDM's back in the day and it took a month on an M4. They get two weeks on this? Come the fuck on. How do you give a rifle like this to Joe?
And what the fuck is wrong with the Mk20 they can't give it to Joe? After all, that's probably the best DMR I've ever laid eyes on. The HK and KAC are nice, nicer than the Mk20, but the Mk20 is far more suited for Joe and I can't see how they didn't see that too. Of course it's some pussy officer making the decision, wouldn't know a DMR from a broomstick (better than our pussy officer, sticking us with rack M4's to shoot at 600m like some sadist bastard).
Army can't make up it's damn mind. I guess I can't either because I still want one and already have the other two high end 7.62's...
